★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice to learn a bit about the history of the Mafia, but the museum is very small and only has few pictures in it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was very curious to learn a bit more about the Mafia and its story but, beside the fact that the museum is small, the guide seemed not to be in the mood of explaining us much about the story and she seemed to be in a rush all the time (probably because it was lunchtime shift). We we’re not lucky with the guide I suppose.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Corleone is a typical hillside Sicilian town with winding cobbled streets and all the usual facilities such as shops, town hall, churches etc. The people there welcomed the establishment of CIDMA because they wanted to end the stigma and stereotyping of their towns association with the mafia. In fact the film the Godfather wasn't even filmed there!
CIDMA is not your average tourist visit. This extraordinary experience is very thought provoking and deeply troubling in many ways, but we were so glad we went.
You have to be taken on a guided tour as the building is a bit of a maze and the guides are very passionate about the work there. The entry fee depends on how many people are in the party so it's worth going in a group. I could have included more pictures but that would detract from your visit.
The most important message they want to get across is that the more the activities of the mafia are known about and discussed the less power they can wield over ordinary people trying to live without fear and extortion.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I went to Corleone just to visit this museum. My knowledge and romantic idea of Mafia were based only on Hollywood movies. I’ve learned that the truth was completely opposite and there wasn’t anything to romanticize about. It was a great and painful experience to hear the truth and stories of the real people about Mafia. I was shocked how cruel and fearful the life was for people around here.
If you are interested in the real history of Mafia this is the place to visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It is quite a place of the anti-mafia history of not only Coreleone but the entire Sicily. Guided tours only during covid.
In this museum you will learn the history of mafia, the famous mafia leaders and members, and most importantly, the people who sacrificed their lives fighting against mafia.
The tour guides are mostly volunteers so tips are appreciated!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great (but depressing) experience! I recommend to do some general reading about Cosa Nostra (at least about the Maxi Trial) prior the visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is fantastic. It is an anti-mafia organization funded by the 5€ entrance fee. A must see if you are in Palermo. Excellent presentation on the history of the Mafia in Corleone and the impact it has on society.
Value for money is extremely high. I would visit it again.
